BluePrint formed
in the spring of 2002 with Mark Somerlott, Carlos Curet, Cal
Morrow and Keith Coughenour coming together to play the blues.
In the spring of 2010 BluePrint added
Pete Macias on keyboards to round out the band. Their music
ranges from older more traditional blues to newer contemporary
blues. Up tempo shuffles or slow blues or rock blues keep things
interesting and covers a wide range of styles and artists in the
blues genre. They are also always working on adding original
songs to their list. The line up is the basic vocals, drums,
bass and guitar attack with the added flavor of Mark's blues
harp and now the texture of Pete's keyboards. One unique aspect
of their show is Cal and Keith switching off between bass and
guitar on certain songs giving the show more variety.

 A sound of strength and resilience, Cori Emmett, a 19 year old singer, songwriter, and musician from Lawton, OK enthusiastically devotes her life to music since her first debut in a school talent show at 5 years old. In 1999, when Cori was 8, an unforgiving tornado destroyed her home, and she humbly ate from the Salvation Army Truck. Following that experience, her goal became giving back to her community through reaching others with her music. She graciously served over 2000 hours of community service.
Known as the little girl with big pipes and a voice beyond
her years, Cori performs with passion and intensity. Her
poignant lyrics represent the essence of her vitality and
potential. In addition, Cori has played at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar in OKC and Thackerville; NBA Thunder Opening Day Celebration; Chesapeake Boot of Oklahoma; Oklahoma City's Opening Night New Year's Eve Celebration; many fairs and festivals, clubs and corporate events. The 77th Army Band named her an honorary member. She received the President's Volunteer Service Award and the Prudential Spirit of Community Award, and she served as Miss Starlight for Comanche County Memorial Hospital. By sitting in recordings of her friend and mentor, Katrina Elam at Nashville’s prestigious Blackbird Studio, owned by John McBride, Cori witnessed first hand what it takes to make a record. John McBride asked her, “Hey do you have any songs Martina can record…she’s looking?” Having the unique opportunity to meet and to hear stories of artists and songwriters like John Rich, Keith Urban, and Jimmie Lee Sloas helped fortify Cori’s developing dreams. In 2007 with her musical talent, Cori impressed a music heavy weight, who had toured for years with Reba, Brooks and Dunn, and Sara Evans, and who now is the director of the “School of Rock” in Oklahoma City (acm@uco). After witnessing her seasoned stage presence, he took her under his wing to co-write and produce several tunes performed in her live shows. Getting her foot in the door of the music business through writing, Cori writes music with a former Nashville artist who was in the business for over 10 years and started writing with a prominent Nashville singer/songwriter who has cuts on Reba, Carrie Underwood, and Rascal Flatts’ recent albums.

Jake Moffat Band Jake Moffat’s life story reaches far beyond the shores of North America. From the descendants of the sleepy town of Moffat in the heart of southern Scotland and shores of Ireland came two influential men who proved that the most important things in life aren’t “things”. These two men taught Jake, his two older brothers and sister that ability is what you’re capable of doing, motivation determines what you do, and your attitude determines how well you do it. Grandpa Moffat, or Grandpa Music as he is commonly known, was a hard-working man who always had time for two things: no work on Sundays and the sweet sound of music. The sounds of gospel, bluegrass and country music, synonymous with the history of Oklahoma, frequently lit up the air ways of any radio the family could find. Grandpa Shaklee, on the other hand, was a courageous WWII pilot. A man of few words but always there to lift you up. “My Grandfathers didn’t tell me how to live, they lived it and let me watch them do it“, says Jake. Jake’s immediate love for music became evident by the age of eight. After a few years of piano lessons and a trip to the state capitol for a school music performance, an undeniable talent for singing emerged. Just a year later at a Stillwater pawn shop, he swayed his mom into purchasing his first acoustic guitar. At Daddy O’s Music, he found some guitar lessons, and continued teaching himself to play after his instructor moved from Stillwater a short time after he began playing. His biggest musical influences at the time were his two older brothers. “I was probably the only kid in middle school jamming to Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and all the good 80’s bands,” Jake recalls. By his sophomore year of high school, his days were filled with playing sports, jammin’ with his buddies in the Feed Barn after hours, and hanging out with friends. Upon realizing that his first band wasn’t going to make it out of the garage after an entire year of practicing, Jake stumbled across a few new friends and formed the band Remede. Jake found himself playing his first gig just a year later on his sixteenth birthday at the Copper Penny. They played the Wormy Dog in Stillwater on his 18th birthday. During the few years, Remede built a solid reputation, but several changes to the band’s original lineup led to the band’s breakup and Jake’s emergence as an acoustic artist. While spending his nights playing on the Stillwater strip, he soon became friends with the likes of Cody Canada, Jason Boland, Stoney LaRue, and other great Oklahoma artists. He opened the “Boys From Oklahoma” show at Poor David’s in Dallas with Cody Canada, Jason Boland, Stoney LaRue, Mike McClure and Bleu Edmondson on his 21st Birthday.

Jelibred “The 3rd Best Garage Band in Oklahoma”© formed in mid-1995 with Fort Sill soldiers Specialist Four Roy “Toy-Boy”© Carrasco (bass, vocals), Sergeant Mark “8Ball”© Baum (guitar, vocals), Staff Sergeant George “Roadkill”© Keck (drums, vocals), and Lawtonian Mike “Tumbleweed”© Patterson (guitar, vocals). After waiting to see if we were going to be any good, Roy’s girlfriend, Inez “Sassy”© Soto, joined as lead vocalist. After completing his term of service, Roy chose to return home to Houston, Texas. Inez went with him. This began a running joke with the remaining band members, as no less than 10 bass players have rotated thru the line-up over the years! The current line-up features original member Roadkill©. Roadkill© is a solid drummer who plays what fits the music. His role as oldest member of the band is only overshadowed by his general lack of usefulness. CatDog© has worked his way up from roadie to soundman to lead singer. He reached this level of success by setting up the microphones, then keeping one for himself. Wrecker Rob© plays bass the way you like to hear the bass. He plays a lot of low notes at full volume. Band mate Barney Rubble© and Roadkill© have friendship that reaches back into the 70s...too bad neither one can remember that far back. Newest band member E.C.© faithfully commutes from Wichita Falls, Texas for practice and gigs. He soon hope to at least recoup his gas money and tolls. The band has amassed a faithful cult-following of other soldiers, blue-collar workers, and the motorcycle riding crowd. Their cover tunes reflect Southern Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, and Rock-n-Roll. Their original music echoes these influences. Jelibred™ has formed, taken hiatus, reformed, and survived to bring back 15 years of great music and a self-depreciating sense of humor to local venues.

Rick Jawnsun Music has always been an inspiration to Rick Jawnsun, especially through his younger years; he has always had an ear for music. His first set of music instruments were a few five gallon buckets set side by side along with the most durable pair of branches Rick could find which were taken off a nearby pecan tree which he used as drum sticks. Music was what he heard while playing those drums, and let’s just say that’s not what his family heard. Listening to great musicians at local gatherings in the small town of Castroville, Texas made Rick realize he wanted more than just a member of the crowd. He wanted to be on the stage picking his guitar and singing good music. Five years in the army made him realize that music was the medicine to feed his soul. In August of 2007, Rick picked up his Fender Stratocaster guitar that his favorite father-n-law gave him as a birthday present. Rick learned how to play really quick, mostly teaching himself. Almost immediately he started to learn songs that were played by the musicians he admired most. The Red Dirt and Texas Country music scene has inspired him greatly. Rick has kept his feet moving along the musician’s path which contains numerous hurdles that try to make him fall to his knees but, with motivation, loyalty to guitar, and music, he keeps on succeeding with pride.

 Samantha Rose is a high school senior who lives in Lawton, OK. Determination is one of Samantha’s character traits, no mater what she is doing. Growing up as the daughter of a coach, it is not surprising that she approached athletics with a characteristic passion. This included wrestling for 13 years, including years in the boy’s division, when there was no girl’s division. Samantha played football in 4th and 5th grade, and no, she wasn’t the usual female kicker. She played running back and safety. Breaking her arm making a tackle is an indication of her determination in sports, and in every thing she does. She concluded her sports career in high school, when she switched to softball, and helped the team win a state championship her sophomore year. A secondary passion in those days was music. Samantha first sang publicly in a 6th grade talent show, and later won a middle school talent show. In spring 2009 she sent a video of a vocal performance to an on line national teen idol competition. She came in first on line, and was a finalist in the competition in Long Branch, NJ. She got her first guitar for Christmas in 2009, and mostly taught herself to play. The next month, she began to perform publicly in Lawton, including playing some of a growing number of songs that she has written. In fall 2010, Samantha decided to add harmonica to a song. She picked out a harmonica one afternoon, and performed with it the next evening. Despite the surprise expressed by musicians she has worked with, at such rapid progress, she takes it in stride, and doesn’t think she is doing anything unusual.
Samantha enjoys writing and performing songs, and singing
in public. She has performed with bands, but usually plays
solo, accompanying herself on guitar. |
